The High Lab at the University of Chicago studies optical quantum science, focusing on the integration of novel quantum materials with precision device fabrication to generate coherent interactions between light and solid-state quantum systems. The lab explores innovative ways to use light to study and control the electronic and optical properties of solids, such as breaking time-reversal symmetry using atomic antennas and optically generating quantum states. With expertise in quantum engineering, semiconductor physics, precision fabrication, integrated photonics, and materials science, the lab is currently building the next generation of quantum technologies based on diamond. Research involves exploring novel forms of interaction between quantum states as well as the physics of excitons and correlated electrons in two-dimensional materials. The lab is actively seeking postdoctoral researchers to contribute to projects focused on integrated quantum acoustic and photonic technologies using diamond membranes.
